Tanking is in such an awful state right now

You mean when people come here claiming things are a fact when they aren’t?

Or, your line for what you consider “bullying in harassment” isn’t where Blizzard defines theirs.

Or when youve got the data / links / evidence / proof that shows you “their side” is entirely wrong

We are still all waiting for you to post something coherent or relevant to the discussion though.

If you think the way Grizzle acted in this thread wasn’t bullying with the constant gaslighting then I am sorry to say you are part of the problem.

If his posts were flagged and restored then that literally means your line for bullying and harassment are not in line with Blizzard’s. Idk what to tell you.

They are probably less likely to constitute something as bullying and harassment if both parties are equally in argument with each other. Harassment and bullying would generally be one sided in power.

So, basically, you’re saying it’s okay for people to be toxic as long as they manage to avoid technical penalties? Interesting how you seem more focused on defending questionable behavior than promoting a respectful environment for everyone.

Sir that is what I am talking about. Something needs to change.

They are probably less likely to constitute something as bullying and harassment if both parties are equally in argument with each other. Harassment and bullying would generally be one sided in power.

No, it means if you are going to claim harassment then don’t participate in it yourself. There’s a simple tool called “ignore” or use sheer will power to not engage. In order for there to be bullying you need an imbalance of power. If both sides are arguing equally then there’s no imbalance.

Do you think anyone who you think is toxic should be banned?

And if someone else thinks you are toxic, should you, yourself, be banned?

I don’t envy their moderation team, the more prolific trolls are definitely at least clever enough to stay mostly within the lines. Doesn’t make them any less toxic.

For people using the forums, there’s common enough similarities between them to mostly identify them for ignore purposes, even if moderation can’t fairly use them.

Terminally online levels of posting is probably the thing I find correlates the strongest. A few of the most egregious ones on my ignore are pushing 25+ posts on the forums every day for years at a time average.

unify under battletag. Gets rid of a lot of trolls.

Remove hidden profiles too.

Account wide ignore at the very least needs to be a thing.

Yes, it should be.

We are still waiting for you to explain what was so inherently fun about DF3 M+ (discarding factors like who in your guild were playing, because that has nothing to do with the state of dungeons itself), but you just can’t seem to do anything but play victim or divert the topic to something entirely unrelated. All you have to do is answer the question.

In before people insist this would somehow violate their privacy. Because you could technically figure out whose forum alt was whose. But that just begs the question of why people need to be able to sock puppet alts on the forum at all.

There is always something.

One thing bullies hate is when their toys get taken away.

I think I’ll take some advice and block a few individuals and be on with my forum adventure. :eyes:

Seems like most of the people you are accusing of sock puppeting are actually the ones in favor is BTags on the forums. Funny. I’ve been in favor of it for years.

I think tank expectations have changed quite a bit over the years. You used to need heals and CC just to pull a pack of 4-6 mobs in REGULAR dungeons. Now tanks are supposed to be unkillable murder machines that pull the entire dungeon while everyone else tries to keep up.

Tanks were meant to be the punching bags that keep mobs distracted while the DPS kill them, and the healer keeps the tank alive while that’s happening. That was the whole reason for the tank/DPS/healer trinity.

This is so well said that i am hoping you have a cult i can join. Tanking used to be a different role you played not just the dps player who takes the damage.

The same with the turn healer into dps lite from SL/DF era.

The insanity of these people. Not knowing what they said from minutes ago
